When NATO has aside of a no-fly zone to guarantee, also taken the job to protect the people of Lybia

Rebels in Misrata 'killed by Nato friendly fire'

Thursday 28 April 2011 18.52 BST

Twelve dead and three wounded after rebel unit guarding city's port came under attack

In any conflict where arms are used, people are killed or wounded by friendly fire, ANY.

I've had an electric shock many times here - thank god they have a high voltage and low current that hasn't killed me.

Think the stuff that gives you a belt that doesn't kill you is low wattage, lucky it wasn't a kettle or heater, but even low wattage can stop your heart.

Anything in my place with a 2 pin plug now has a 3 pin plug using an earth from chassis of a suspect appliances, but l do have an earthed 3 pin sockets outlets.

When l rented a place, had a washing machine delivered, they set it up, 2 pin plug, fixed an earth to the chassis, banged a nail between the tiles on the floor and wrapped the earth wire round it.

The only good outcome of this crime is that it will break up Nato. Who in EU can sand behind murder of childen?

No fly zone?

There was no crime. The military compound was a legitimate target.

You make a definitive claim that the bombing of a military command and control center will break up Nato. On what basis do you make that statement aside from your own personal political views?

I really don't think the typical citizen in the EU cares about the fate of the Gaddaffi clan, nor will anyone save for the usual crackpots and extremists, be calling for the dissolution of Nato. I believe that you will find that the joint French and British operation will be applauded.

It was Saif Gaddaffi's decision to use his family as a "human shield". No one forced Saif Gaddaffi to keep his family in a military compound.He made the decision and the responsibility is his alone. Nato did murder any children. The children were located in a military target and were casualties of the Gaddaffi decision to wage war on the Libyan population.

The Libyans that were killed were in a military target. The target had been targeted repeatedly. The previous targeting of the Gaddaffi military headquarters would have been a wake up call to a rational person that it was not appropriate place to shelter in. Nato provided advance warning to Gaddaffi that the compound would be targeted. If murder has been committed it is at the hands of the Gaddaffis. No one made Saif hide behind his family.

I would go further to say that Gaddaffi would willingly sacrifice family to use against NATO or whoever.

For all those talking about chipping, the Mighty X isn't commonrail, so not applicable

As for the poster thinking 140km/hr is fast, welcome to Thailand!

But please do check your rearview mirror before pulling out

The ''chip'' was a jest.

The west has been waiting for an opening to take this action to solve the stuff that Gaddafi has been involved in over the years, WHICH has cost the lives of many innocent folk in the UK and Ireland, and of course the world over, including Libya.

Different l know but many lives were lost to quash a tyrant 60 years ago to make the world a safer place.

If can, avoid anything here with steel outers, go plastic.

Transam, never a truer word spoken, skun knuckles and bits all over the place. The b@@@@@@d spring was easy to find, the little filled washers with the slot were the hard bit to both find and fit.

Forgot about those little blighters, yes, the final operation THEN, everything goes sky wards, blood on the floor and words your mrs has never heard before eh.

Which is why I always prefered to pay expensive mechanics back home to do the brake jobs. I found it much less inconvenient to lighten my wallet than beat up my knuckles, and crawl around the floor looking for springs and other rusty parts. Even at the going rates per hour for labor, I factor in time is money. My time is worth a lot. Why spend half to 2/3 of a day doing a brake job myself due to lack of practice, when the pro can do it in a couple of hours?

Some of us have hobbies which include classic cars that no other hands touch.

Look at my avatar, my work, nooooobody touches it.

One year in UK. Issued at only a few main post offices, l believe in conjunction with the AA.

Google Post office, International Driving License.

Got one years ago just of St. Martin's Lane in London.

I watch the Thai Soap operas.

Me too!, where do they get those young female actresses from??, I think they are all locked away somewhere, never see those pale beauties up here!

You've been locked away too long.

Where are you, might do a rescue mission.

We seem to be not able to have a definetive answer to my original question, some thoughts and suggestions, I have always been a supporter of the Europeon Idea but as a result of reading what the Dutch Govt might be up to its does make you wonder if its worth it, the UK has one set of rules, the Dutch now think they will change all that, seems to me like whatever happens someone makes sure you dont win. I think maybe the answer is to vote UKIP at the next election, I had previously mostly voted tory, but was not there for the last one, yes UKIP for me, sometimes I think the only way to win is to turn up and claim I am seeking political assylum and after a couple of years when we have all the benefits sorted out, offer to go away, here are my terms and fees. Sure is not the country I was born and brought up in.

How right you are. Me an oldy, and my late dad who fought for the UK in 39 up, died an unhappy man, saw his country given away to people who did not strike and fight for the stuff it has now.

Today's lunch....

Is it dead.

Mine was 1/2 kg of BBQ'd tiger prawns, laid out on bed of lettuce then smothered with 1000 island dressing.

I'll go with that.

My downstairs loo was flooded, thought, shit , BUT, in-laws had come and obviously didn't know the science behind the apparatus, or, they don't like me.

PS. Gun shot from the rear, takes a little practise but keep water pressure a little low until you aim is accomplished.

BTB, if it's on the cable TV system, you can come to my hotel, put your feet up with a beer (or 2/3/4 etc) and I can drop you at the airport (2 minutes away) for your flight. Would be good to meet another TV poster from Phuket

How extremely civilized.

(wish l had known)

i am in the same boat after 44years of paying full stamps i dont get the yearly increase,there was a case back in 2009 in which a lady living in south africa took the uk gov.to the court of human rights over this issue they ruled in favour of the gov.any way it beats living in what has become a sh-t hole.

Yes, l must agree, as now immigrants are taken care of big time where as those who might have fought for the UK and are old are now history.

I watch the Thai Soap operas.

I thought you might. In fact, l think most here thought you might.

I did 220kph on the autobahn while I was there...

two of my American neighbours visited us (on different occasions) in Germany. of course i had to show off a bit and accelerated several times to reach nearly 300. one of them enjoyed the ride immensely, the other one i asked later jokingly whether he will pay for the replacement of the handle at the door which he crushed with his right hand when holding on.

Crushed, hmmm, must have been a BMW.

If you ever have to install one of these individual electric shower heaters, you'll see (on the installation instructions), that the water supplied to the inlet should be at a certain pressure. If you happen to shower at a time of high water demand in your hotel/condo/apartment block, that pressure may be reduced and that has an effect. Also, by opening or reducing the supply tap (that's in your control), you'll get cooler water on high flow than you will on low flow, assuming your temperature control adjustment remains constant. Got it?

Next, the ambient water temperature has much to do with it. During the hot months we don't even turn on our shower heater - and the water comes through well hot. Come the cold season, we might have that sucker turned up to the max and still have to reduce the water flow to get warm water. The larger capacity water heaters tend to work more reliably I think.

Actually the problems go away when you have water supplied at a constant pressure and a constant ambient temperature, but when has anything ever been reliably constant in this non-utopian world? Taking cold water scoop baths in an Issan bathroom in December focuses the mind most wonderfully, I recall, and the installation of our first hot water shower was reason enough for a party!

Dont drive when your leg less

Very difficult, need two hands and two feet , unless your Warrpy, need two hands, two feet and two seats (left & right).

OP I would take a lot of the comment's about machining with a grain of salt they are only machining a small amount from the drum and maybe they did the disk's at same time normally they are just taking the ridges out. With disc you can run your finger across the surface to feel these ridges. This has been standard procedure and not replace with new drum's. You will not run out of brakes for the next 11 years.

Think your making a bit of an assumption there. A machine shop is there to make money and will skim/machine out big grooves caused by worn out friction material and/or rivet damage. They don't care about contact reduction just doing what they do for cash.

Lot of taking the piss here. There are things in the UK that bind real natives together, perhaps stuff new societies don't understand.

Unfortunatly can't get in my location.

Brilliant,

Getting back to what I wrote earlier, never had any trouble with the springs in an English written interpretation on drum brake shoes assembly with my special tool .

Getting back on topic ' Cockpit ' have good franchisees outlets I would recommend them to anyone whatever car they had, I just hope they do not become complacent and get sloppy like so many main dealer places.

Special tool, said that to the mrs but she's never been impressed.
